Every time I take both my hands off of the handlebars, the front wheel starts wobbling like this.
I know it has teeny tiny wheels and it's not designed to be ridden without hands (I guess no bike is…) but I thought it would be interesting to share my recent discovery with the community. haha

    Funny enough there is no motion which follow straight line. Everything is wave, even matter eventually is just wave. So what you perceive as straight line motion is actually sinusoidal wave. It wobbles slower or faster, but wobbles. Here you have plenty of slack in bike and this wobble is just very visible and fast, as slack is big for its place, but is very tight, therefore the frequency is high. Headset would make sense

    BTW take a ride on train. You’ll understand this phenomena. It is called haunting.

  2. I can’t even ride a Brompton no handed lol. My front wheel is way too snappy and sensitive

  3. That’s weird. I tried riding my g-line no handed, and it felt pretty precarious; I did it all the time on my road bikes.
